Interaction between Body of Knowledge and Niv-Mizzet, Parun

Asked by nhhale 2 years ago

If Niv-Mizzet, Parun pings Body of Knowledge for 1 damage, you may draw a card which in activates Niv-Mizzet's ability again, allowing you to draw cards as many times as you ping Body of Knowledge for damage. However, Body of Knowledges' toughness depends on the number of cards in your hand. So the question is: When Body of Knowledges' toughness increases by 1 from taking damage from Niv-Mizzet and drawing a card, does this also increase the amount of damage needed to destroy it by 1? In other words, can this combo be used to draw as many cards cards as I want?

As long as you start with more than one card in your hand (otherwise the first time Body of Knowledge is pinged, it will die before the card is drawn) and you do not play too many cards that turn (lest Body of Knowledge's toughness becomes equal to or less than the damage marked against it), it will work. From a practical standpoint, you'll need to track the damage in case it becomes relevant.
